That's the fella. a few more advertising same plate.

Buying plates is a 'mare. Sometimes they advertise a price and say that VAT is not applicable, presumably because they are not VAT registered.: http://www.yourownnumber.co.uk/buynow.php?test=che...

Other times they say VAT has to be paid, although VAT has probably been paid once already: http://www.capeplates.co.uk/enquire/m81nns/

Can't be both!

Transfer fee is an interesting charge too. If bought from the DVLA it will be on retention anyway.

I bought MB11 NNS from the DVLA a few years back. Reg. No. companies were advertising the plate at 3 times what I paid.

Cartell say that it is not registered to a vehicle so at least it is available, I've been offered numbers by companies that weren't holding them as the plates weren't even for sale before

Sorry if I'm being thick, but what does B17NNS supposed to read as. I can only get Kittens, but starting with a B.

I appreciate that personalised plates aren't popular on here amongst many unless they're short and dateless.

I don't mind them myself so long as they're properly spaced, use the correct font and the owner enjoys having it.

For me, one went at auction for thousands and I couldn't afford eleven so seventeen it was

Entirely speculative 'industry'.

Companies advertise plates they themselves bought speculatively (very small percentage), plates that the DVLA currently offer (acting as middleman for naive purchasers), plates they've had enquiries to sell (for which they own last known keeper), or plates they believe to exist.

..if someone makes an enquiry about a plate, they then set about trying to acquire it for sale (at a suitable mark-up).

Unfortunately, this clouds the business for buyers / sellers who want to trade plates in a more upfront manner.
